The Empress (Japanese: 皇帝カエサル Caesar) is a third-tier advanced class which is exclusive to Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. The only unit of this class is Sanaki, and it acts as a personalized variant of the Arch Sage. The class has access to every type of offensive magic except for dark magic, although unlike the Arch Sage, it does not have access to staves; by default it is most proficient in Sanaki's specialty, fire magic.

As an Empress, Sanaki's stats are very similar to the stats of Arch Sages, and she performs an identical role in combat as a purely offensive magical unit. Compared to Arch Sages, her magic and resistance are slightly higher and her luck is significantly higher, but her defense and speed are lower. Although she generally performs just as well as the Arch Sages, her lower speed in particular hinders her, especially in conjunction with the heavy weight of fire tomes.

English

Empress

A female emperor; the position Sanaki holds in Begnion.

Japanese

皇帝カエサル

Officially romanized as Caesar; literally "emperor". In Radiant Dawn, all Japanese class names are spelled primarily in kanji (i.e. 皇帝), with a foreign-language name in katakana applied as furigana (i.e. カエサル) and used as the basis for the romanized name in the class roll.
The katakana name and official romanization refer to Gaius Julius Caesar, an ancient Roman politician, whose cognomen became used as a title for the later Roman emperors.
